Feeling self-conscious with my new cane

I think we’re alot harder on ourselves than other people would be. I’ve been using a rollator now for @ least 5 years I’m 53 and it’s hard really hard. But am I going to be in more pain bc I’m embarrassed not to use it in front of people I’ll probably never see again (talking about using it in public). The last 2 times we went to Disney and we went to Atlantic City we rented a scooter. I pretty much know now if there is alot of walking involved I have to rent a scooter. I try not to look at the people and the looks the give because I know if they felt what I did they would be in the scooter as well!

Honestly, i know i need one eventually. If people are going to be mean over a cane, shame on them. They arent worth having in your life.

I started using a cane and sometimes a walker and it makes me feel so old and I walk bent over, can’t stand my reflection in glass or mirror, if so old..
